| Mar 31, 2013 at 20:02 | comment | added | Arne | Ok, I think it's the WiFi dongle -- ethernet is running for hours on end and has pushed many gigabytes around. | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 19:17 | comment | added | Arne | Will try that, although it's a bit of a hack. :) Have been pushing stuff via ethernet for the last couple of hours, and it hasn't crashed. | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 14:59 | comment | added | Pa_ | I think you should have mentioned the chipset of your dongle above. Anyway, even if it is a ralink,it should work. One thing you could do is force the connection reset (w. unload/reload of the module) every hour, for example, not giving it the time to make your pi crash | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 12:21 | comment | added | Arne | Doing that right now. So far, 1.7GB copied without a problem. Still going. | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 11:16 | comment | added | goldilocks♦ | You need to rule out the possibility that the wifi driver problem and the freezing problem are unrelated by removing the dongle and doing the same test via ethernet. | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 11:13 | comment | added | Arne | Furthermore: It seems my Edimax uses the rt2800 driver, not the rtl8192. | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 11:11 | comment | added | Arne | As I wrote above: the Pi just froze. Keyboard dead, display output frozen, no further messages. | |
| Mar 31, 2013 at 10:59 | comment | added | Arne | I have such a script already running (every 5m it syslogs whether wifi is up or down, and restarts wifi), but it does not help. Right now I guess the whole system halts, because at some point logging to /var/log/messages stops altogether. Trying to debug with attached display now. | |
